He had never officially asked this question before, opting to dominate her and keep her by his side, but now he had made a promise, a resolution from his heart!
He decided to formally give her a steadfast promise. It had never been about providing for her. He had always said that she was his woman. Now, he just wanted her to be his girlfriend, and in the future, his fiancee, his wife, the mother of his children, and grandmother to his grandchildren. One step at a ti, he was in no hurry. He had a lifeti to slowly sketch out their future.
But Chenxing was completely stunned for a mont.
She lowered her head to look at him, gazing for a long ti, and in the end, she actually took a step back.
Her rejection was glaringly obvious.
"I’m sorry, I can’t accept it."
Once upon a ti, when she was with him, she had fantasized and longed for the day when he would personally give her a title, so that she didn’t have to live in such awkwardness!
But now, circumstances had changed, as had her state of mind.
"Chenxing..."
"No, Gu Shaocheng, I don’t want to intrude into your world anymore nor do I want you to intrude into mine, do you understand? I can’t love you, I can’t hate you either, but likewise, I can’t let go... I can’t do it; whenever I see you, I think of my deceased parents. I cannot bear the thought of living under the sa roof with you!"
"Even if they weren’t my biological parents, but the love they once gave cannot be erased from my mory. I cannot hate you, nor can I hate them. I cannot judge the past of our elders. To , my biological father and mother, and my adoptive father and mother, they are all the sa. I should call all four of them mom and dad!"
"Anyone can criticize my adoptive father, except !"
"The love he gave those years, it’s here, it can’t be erased, truly it can’t be erased..."
She touched her heart. Even if the entire world scolded her, she could not hate her adoptive father. Her heart told her she couldn’t do it!
So she did not want to be with him, even if there was a feeling called ’liking’, which had unknowingly grown roots in her heart. She could only hide it in her heart and never hold hands with him in this lifeti.
Chenxing held the basin and turned, fleeing in haste.
In the vast world, only Gu Shaocheng was left, his expression desolate as he watched her retreating figure. His handso lips were tightly pressed together, as if so suppressed emotion couldn’t be released...
He slowly, slowly said: "Chenxing, actually, you still hate , don’t you?"
His voice was neither loud nor soft, just enough for her to hear, tinged with a hint of sarcasm.
"If you say that adoptive father and biological father are the sa, why haven’t I seen you burn an incense for your biological father? Why haven’t I heard you call him ’Dad’ in front of his grave? Your biological mother is in a ntal hospital, and I haven’t seen you look after her for even a single day! Is this your idea of equal treatnt?"
Chenxing bit her lower lip.
Gu Shaocheng’s words were like a slap hastily thrown at her face.
"In your heart, that woman who beca deranged because she lost you, the woman who suffered through ten months of pregnancy to bring you into this world, she doesn’t matter at all, does she?"
"No." Chenxing turned around abruptly, tears silently sliding down her cheeks, her voice strained: "No, she’s important, she’s very important..."
Especially after she had personally delivered a woman’s child, she understood better the kind of pain her biological mother had gone through to bring her into this world!
